15275 wordpress-importer trunk would benefit from listing: () lloydbudd duck_ "==== Environment ====
WordPress Trunk r16120 (3.1-alpha)
wordpress-importer trunk r306039
==== Background ====
WordPress Trunk r16120 (3.1-alpha) includes the author information in the export WXR v1.1 file. On wordpress-importer trunk r306039, the information is used to present the mapping information.
==== Current Behaviour ====
It looks like
Import author or map to existing user [Dropdown menu of ].
==== Details ====
In a multi-author site it's not unusual for multiple contributors to have the same display name, or for authors that are no longer involved to have a shared display name.
Also, at the time the import is done during a site migration, it's not usual for the display names not to be set up yet, or for a different display name to be used.
I think the preferred format would be something like:
==== New Behaviour ====
Import author () or map to existing user [ Dropdown menu of ()]
==== Additional Details ====
